Lots of people will say no but it really depends on how long you are willing to queue and how many days you have planned for universal. For me I always want the shortest queue possible to if only doing the 2 days then I would stay overnight at Hard Rock.

If you are planning to go on one of the nights that Halloween Horror falls on (which seem to be increasing ) you may find the parks are a lot busier even in the day.
Monday and Tuesday's are markedly quiet in our opinion.

We are staying in the HRH for 1 night to get the express passes.
We are going in October too. When we went in 2015 we found most rides were around an hour! I often read that people have no queues this time of year but that was not our experience. |

It's all subjective. I've seen posts from people who think a wait of up to 30-45 minutes for a ride is acceptable and fair play to them. If that possible length of queuing works for you then don't bother with FOLP.
Personally, I'd be turning into a potential axe murderer if I had to queue for that length of time! FWIW, we're going late October / November - I wanted a night at RPR so that we get 2 days of FOLP. There's 5 of us going, so if we'd paid for FOLP only for 2 days it would have cost us circa $899 / £ 720 which was a great big NO! As an option, ( may be worth considering for you? ) we've hired a Premium car for 2 weeks + a night at the RPR ( Club Level Room ) via BA/Avis for £659 less 2% Quidco - every bit helps LOL . I'd expected to pay around £430-450 for the car anyway... so another £220 or so for a night's stay + FOLP + breakfasts , hors doeuvres, free drinks ( 4.30-6.30 ) and " Sweets Hour " from 8-9p.m. seems like a good enough deal to me. I'm sure my 24 year old son and 7 year old grand-daughter, both with hollow legs! , will justify the cost on their ownsome ! universalorlando/Hot...vel-Rooms.aspx Edited at 01:52 AM. |

Thanks Mike,
Was the car hire and room a combined deal? TIA
